Maybe I’m not good at understanding love, after all.

You are more than what the scale tells you.

This is me closing the door. This is me finally believing that I deserve more than I did before.

To love someone who does not love you back does not make you weak.

Stop making yourself small to make other people feel more comfortable.

As you love them, they will shine light upon your most wicked shadows; the dark places within you that you have been fighting to ignore.

You were never weak. To be raw is real.

If I don’t tell you enough that I love you,I need you to know that I do.

You are braver than you thought.

When you are feeling like a failure, I want you to know that you are not alone.

There’s no heartbreak-proof love, and there’s no surefire way to success.

I’m busy trying to catch my breath. Breathe in, breathe out. Repeat.

Depression will not stay with you forever.

I hope you choose patience.

There has never before been, and there never will be, another you. You are one of the special ones.

This is me choosing myself. This is me choosing to follow my own heart, my own beliefs.

I want to tell him I love him, I say. Fear says, he might leave.

The best thing you can say is I’m here for you. We are going to get through this. You are not alone.
